Quote

He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, Good fences make good neighbors.

It's hard to get into this world and hard to get out of it, and what's in between doesn't make much sense.
Robert Frost
Image
We get twitted now and then on how we made this country. Well, we took the whole business, of course. It's not just that corner that we took from Mexico. When we got it all together, we got a very shapely country-the best continental cut in all the world, between the two oceans and in the right temperature zone.

Everyone asks for freedom for himself, The man free love, the businessman free trade, The writer and talker free speech and free press.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.

People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. It's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.

Nature does not complete things. She is chaotic. Man must finish, and he does so by making a garden and building a wall.

If the day ever comes when they know who They are, they may know better where they are.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism it's egotism.

I am sure I have heard this several times from places I can't recall, but it's not already in the Gaia Quotes database, so I add this profound insight from the fields of psychological healing and spiritual evolution. It sure has helped me.

Humour is the most engaging cowardice. With it myself I have been able to hold some of my enemy in play far out of gunshot.

It is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. The right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound-that he will never get over it.

The rose is a rose, And was always a rose. But the theory now goes That the apple's a rose.
